Hello Paul
starting with your 3.0 RC7, could it be possible with a new release (awaiting the ability through FSUIPC 5 future update), to connect locally in a simconnect manner to FSW ?
Tested with a quick local dev app and could not be achieved at the moment, the running FSW is not seen by the client (my app has the ability to check automatically trough FSUIPCClient.Dll if there's a remote or local running Sim)

Hi,
I need to remotely connect to P3D via SimConnect. I have 2 PCs.
Server: PC1 with P3D v4 installed, IPv4:192.168.10.139
Client: PC2 has a C# WPF app that does some reading & writing to P3D on PC1 via SimConnect. IPv4:192.168.10.167
I have put SimConnect.cfg file on PC2, Documents folder, put SimConnect.xml, EXE.xml and DLL.xml files on PC1, C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 folder, put SimConnect.ini file on PC1, C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files folder. I save all these 5 files as Unicode type for encoding.
In SimConnect.cfg:
In SimConnect.xml:
In SimConnect.ini:
As for EXE.xml and DLL.xml files, I didn't do any changes as I found no instructions about them.
In the WPF app code on PC2:
private const int WM_USER_SIMCONNECT = 0x0402; //user-defined
this.SimConnect = new SimConnect("Managed Data Request", Handle, WM_USER_SIMCONNECT, null, 0); // it can be executed with no error or exception as long as the SimConnect.cfg file is OK.
private IntPtr HandleSimConnectEvents(IntPtr hWnd, int message, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, ref bool isHandled)
{
isHandled = false;
switch (message)
{
case WM_USER_SIMCONNECT:// This is never met! But if P3D and the WPF app run on the same PC then it works.
{
if (SimConnect != null)
{
try
{
this.SimConnect.ReceiveMessage();
}
catch
{
RecoverFromError();
}
isHandled = true;
}
}
break;
default:
break;
}
return IntPtr.Zero;
}
The remote connection between P3D and the WPF app is not successful. I appreciate any help.

Hi,
I'm trying to use RCv4 in a Simconnect window in P3Dv4.1. I had this set up and working well in P3Dv3.4.
In v4.1, RC options show in a Simconnect window when I start that programme and I'm able to interact with these options. Everything seems to work. Apart from that I can't open and close the Simconnect ATC window.
Following the instructions in the FSUIPC user guide and guide for advanced users, I've added AdvDisplayHotKey=65,11 to FSUIPC.ini. I've also set CTRL+SHIFT+A in "Toggle FS Display Window On/Off in FSUIPCs Hot Keys tab, and set CTRL+SHIFT+A as the keypress to toggle the ATC window in RCv4 itself. But nothing happens when I press CTRL+SHIFT+A.
I can close the Simconnect ATC window using the red cross in the top corner, but then the window never comes back.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Dominic

Hello, I have the following request:
I am using a PHP script that allows me to save my aircraft and store it in a MySQL database using IVAO API (whazzup -> http://api.ivao.aero/getdata/whazzup/whazzup.txt). Works without problems. Now I fly sometimes without IVAO and still want to read my flight data into a MySQL database (altitude, speed, departure airport, destination airport, latitude, longitude, airplane type, on ground ?, and other offsets -> http://www.projectmagenta.com / All-fsuipc-offsets). Can someone write a program with C ++ or JavaScript, which can read me via PHP, FSUIPC or SimConnect this data? I have already used a lot of Google, but no program found that accesses the interface via PHP. Please do not use an ACARS program, but a simple EXE or PHP file that connects and writes the live data into a MySQL database at intervals (Standalone Programm). Thanks
System: Windows 10
Flight Simulator: Prepar3D v4
I have long times experience with PHP scripts, but not experience with JavaScript, LUA or C++, i hope anywhere can write my a simple prgramm for windows

Hi Pete,
As I am currently very interested in the deeper functionality of FSUIPC and Simconnect, I may ask you, if you know about some documentation like a "white paper" about these topics. My interest, as an IT man, goes to some questions like:
How gets FSUIPC access to the FSX data?
How gets Simconnect access to FSX data?
What protocols are used (TCP IP, named Pipes, Queues, etc) ?
What roles are LVARS playing?
What roles are the OFFSETS playing?
How is the "cooperation" between both access modes ?
Thanks,
regards Alhard

Since updating to FSUIPC4 4.95 I am seeing the following line repeatedly included in the FSUIPC4.log file (and in the LINDA console). Nothing else has changed in my configuration (P3Dv3.2, PMDG737 NGX, ASNv4.1, LINDA 2.7.x). Can this be inhibited?

Hi Pete,
I intend to purchase AI traffic software and run it on my client computer and connect it with my FSX computer (Server). Are you aware of any software that will be network compatible and run either via widefs or simconnect? None of the programs I have seen so far (i.e. MyTraffic or Ultimate Traffic) seem to be network compatible - at least the description doesn't mention so.
Kind regards

Hi Srs,
I'm building my own throttle quadrant to be used with the Ifly 737NG, and managed with C#.
I'm programming levers and buttons with the SDK of FSX (simconnect), and most of them are responding properly, the big deal begins when I assign a command for each idle/cutoff lever (engine start lever1&2), because on the sim there are no way to make them move. (I am not using FSUIPC, as I want a throttle that can be connected to any sim, also without FSUIPC).
I've found similar posts using FSUIPC, but this is not my case as I'm not writing directly to an offset (3590= Engine_1_ Fuel_Valve & 3594=Engine_2_Fuel_Valve).
From the Simconnect Event_IDs, I've used this events unsuccessfully:
TOGGLE_FUEL_VALVE_ENG1
MIXTURE1_RICH
MIXTURE1_LEAN
MIXTURE1_SET (0=cutoff & 16383=idle)
So, does anyone know an event combination or a different command I can use to make them work?
I appreciate your help as this is driving me crazy.

Introduction

Dear Pete,
this might not be the best forum for SimConnect questions, but this one might be an easy thing for you to get me some ideas on:
SimConnect offers:
CLOCK_SECONDS_ZERO
CLOCK_HOURS_SET
CLOCK_MINUTES_SET
ZULU_HOURS_SET
ZULU_MINUTES_SET
ZULU_DAY_SET
ZULU_YEAR_SET
So, no way to set a local year and day here. To set a local date and time by setting the time part with the CLOCK_xx events and the date part with the ZULU_xx events might end up in a wrong resulting local date/time with an offset of +/- one hour in case the new date has a different daylight saving time and therefore a different timezone bias.
Currently, I help myself in that I try to set the new time using the CLOCK_ and ZULU_ mix approach and afterwards I recheck the resulting local time against the wanted new local time. If they differ, I use the now updated "TIME ZONE OFFSET" variable I receive from SimConnect to update the zulu time, causing the sim to reload the scenery a second time, which is of course not nice.
How are you dealing with this problem in your FSUIPC API? The whole problem seems to be around knowing the correct time zone bias for the current lat/lon and the desired date/time. I do not see how to get hold of this information other than asking some google web services and the like.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Walter

Hi Pete,
Until a few days ago I was running P3D V2.3 with unregistered FSUIPC and the A2A C172 and all was good. I then registered FSUIPC, at which point it seems to have started to cause problems with the A2A C172, which no longer responds to control inputs, with the green bar message saying FSX Simconnect has encountered an error and will be restarted.
I'm not sure where to start looking, as this error seems to be related to the FSUIPC activation (the error only started at registration) and all other aircraft (Q400, Realair Legacy, Carenado Bonanza, QW 146) seem to be completely unaffected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jamie
p.s. I've also posted on the A2A forum to see if they have any ideas.

I purchased ASNext recently and it brings a whole new stage of realism to simulator flight. Everything works well with the exception I am not able to connect FSX to ASNext's radar weather module, Xgauge. The folks over at HI-FI are working with me on the issue and the are now looking at possible conflicts between Xgauge and my registered version of FSUIPC4. I have now upgraded FSUIPC to the most recent version and the install log file does state: " Installed "ASN WX Radar facilities in FSUIPC4.pdf" okay". I reset the FSUIPC configuration to default to start it fresh. I am able to see the Xgauge panel and all the buttons, however the display remains black with the exception of a message stating "ASN Uplink Not Established".
I am attaching a screenshot of the display and my FSG.CFG file along with logs from ASNext and FSUIPC4. If anyone else has has this problam and can provide answers, I would certainly appreciate it. (Well, apparently the log files are not allowed to be uploaded on the forum so I have include the xml.dll and ASNext export log.

Hello,
I know you are on holidays so, don't worry if you can't answer soon.
I have installed P3Dv2.1 on a fresh install, on Windows 7 64 fresh install too. When installing FSUIPC4 4929 I get the following error message:
I will thanks any help.

Hi Peter,
I am trying to set up for testing purposes a saitek throttle quadrant to use special offsets to control Engine 1 and 2 within FSUIPC with two axis until I build my proper TQ for this Aircraft
The offsets which are dedicated for this avionics software are
LEFT_THROTTLE=0x18173
RIGHT_THROTTLE=0x18174
I was told that the values for it are from 0 to 1023 (1023 being MAX power)
First off, I have disabled all axis assignment in FSX regarding the throttles.
Second I went into FSUIPC and went into the "Axis Assignment" tab and scanned and found the left throttle axis. I then selected the "Send to FS as normal axis" I then selected the <Custom Control> and put in the offset for Engine 1 throttle which is 0x18173 and clicked ok. FSUIPC then showed it as 98675
I then carried out the same for the Second axis with the second offset and FSUIPC then showed .98676.
I am getting a response but it's always either 0 or max power with the levers when I add this to the FSUIPC.ini file.
[Axes] 0=0Z,1,F,98675,0,0,0,+1023 1=0U,256,F,98676,0,0,0,+1023 2=1U,256,D,3,0,0,0,*0.5,+8192 3=1V,256,D,3,0,0,0,*-0.5,-8191
As you can see I have another two axis from a Pokeys card for rudder pedals in which I completed with two pots from another post I seen you posted to help another member here on the forum. (2=1U and 3=1V) with some added math which works perfectly by the way, thanks for that information.
I was wondering what would be the proper math for my throttles axis so that I can use them correctly as of now, they only either go full power or idle power.
Thanking you in advance
Michael
